Mother Nature

Severe weather can test any building’s foundation. When storms get dangerous, water becomes a powerful element. Be it a flood, tornado, or winter storm, when water harms your home or business, it becomes a serious matter. No one can be ready for every scenario, but when water damage strikes, you can depend on us.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements are a target for runoff water, be it from precipitation, roof damage, a malfunctioning sump pump, or other sources. It only takes a single crack in the foundation for moisture to invade. Paul Davis specialists are highly trained to remove flooding from basements, clean and preserve your possessions, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t rest until we know that the task is done.

Sewage Backups & Problems

Sewage flooding is not only gross, it’s hazardous. Grey or black water contamination carries pathogens that may result in serious illness. Flooding from sewer clogs can be designated as a crisis and should be handled immediately. Trained Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and eliminate the damage from the source and any standing water damage may have happened. Our equipment and specialized education can fix the hazard with safety and speed.

Damaged Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, tub, water heater or other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Standing flooding on the floor can seep into tight spots, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and invite mold infestation. If your water damage comes from sewage or kitchen malfunction, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have a professional investigate the situation to prevent further expenses later on.

Water after Fire Damage

It’s bad enough for your home or business to sustain fire damage, but it’s worse to be stuck with water damage after the blaze. In the process of killing an indoor fire, your home or business may be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of severe damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the expertise to remove any fire or water damage remaining.
